  author, was baptized at Hatherleigh, Devonshire, on the 23rd of November 1604. He was educated at Westminster School and at Christ
Church

Oxfordshire

Commonwealth
  he was dispossessed,' and became chaplain to the duke of Devonshire. At the Restoration he was made
canon
  of Christ
Church
 , archdeacon of Chichester and chaplain in
ordinary
  to the king. He wrote a farcical domestic comedy, The City Match (1639), which is reprinted in vol. xiii. of Hazlitt's edition of Dodsley's Old Plays, and a fantastic tragi-comedy entitled The Amorous War (printed 1648). After receiving ecclesiastical preferment he gave up poetry as unbefitting his profession. His other works comprise some occasional gems, a
translation

Oxford
 .
